From the AFI 100 that amused posted, I have not seen these:
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927)
<snip>
Possibly my favourite film of all time.


That said... I haven't seen the majority of films made in the past, oh, let's say 40 years... but I've seen an inordinate amount of really old ones.

I'm off to check my tally on that list...

I don't believe I've ever seen an Alfred Hitchcock film, like, ever. :oops:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

I've never seen Battlefield Earth.

Ah, fuck it. I may as well put it in my Netflix queue. How bad can it possibly be?

Make sure you don't have any guns, knives or poison in your residence before you start watching.

My wife ordered us The Hunger Games on cable. She's already seen it. I saw the first 45 minutes or so last night, and I'm dreading the rest.

I would also suggest removing any children or pets to a safe distance, just in case.

I've never had the dubious pleasure of watching this Travolta epic, but I remember the words of a critic who presumably had suffered through it:

"A million monkeys with a million crayons would be hard-pressed in a million years to create anything as cretinous as Battlefield Earth"
God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion. - Superintendent Chalmers

It's not up to us to choose which laws we want to obey. If it were, I'd kill everyone who looked at me cock-eyed! - Rex Banner

The Bluebird of Happiness long absent from his life, Ned is visited by the Chicken of Depression. - Gary Larson
